the only thing that is real is that which you believe exist
There is nothing more mysterious in life than when we talk about LOVE. How does it happens is still a matter of discussion among scholars. When people talk about being in love, most especially with an object or a concept, people wonder what they mean by that . Poet/poetess have expressed their opinion on how they love poetry which was gathered in a poetry weekly challenge organized by Nigeria Poets and Writers. Poetry is a form of language in which people describes their feelings in a more deeper codified and descriptive way.

©️Raji Aishat
My love for poetry is boundless
Which I cannot express with words
Which I cannot explain in a year
But make noise to their ears
Shrieking them with my pen
My love for poetry is unlimited
Which no one can put in anchor
But listen to the thrilled rhythm
And follow the thrilled words
Sprinkling to their mind to make a change
Directing them to the right path
Pivoting them to action
Until they change their mindset
My love for poetry is strongish
Making an elephant bow
Bow to praise the words of the ancient bard
My love for poetry is enormous
I transform lives with my pen
Impact with my quill
Make the weak strong
Strong like an ox
And crowned like a king
©️Theophilus Katon Chidonku
I can't speak
I am eloquent
Have tried to pass across
A message to the world
The world needs to hear of me
My generation needs to hear my voice
But there was no means
To communicate
Then I fell in love with poetry
And I discovered my pen
Could speak faster than me
My lips became mute
And now
Am in love with poetry
Am in love with the poetic world
Were men of great intellectuals
Are raised
Am in love with poetry
©️Awudu Chidonku
When I realised i was
gifted with creative writing
And swimming in pool of poetry vision
I fall in love with poetry
I love poetry
My wits are been unleashed
To the world through my words
My lips are soften to speak in
Written discourse
I love poetry
I found joy untying my mind
With my bleeding pen to a
Hard world which I found my self
It gives me joy when my
Spirit is high on writing
I love poetry
@Mary Dorcas Sanni
Poetry is my world, it defines who I'm. Poetry runs in my vain giving me confidence to rule and reign.
I love poetry for it's my voice, the poetic words I speak comes with life and hope.
I love poetry, with no doubt it has made me a winner in my own little way.
I love poetry for it has taught me how to bring words to life.

Poems need your listening
Though I'll do the reading
And though it has the rhyming
You need to feel the feelings
Hope my word is touching
And I hope it will leave you smiling
I love poetry
©Fortune Uwaezuoke
Long and lonely nights
With no one to turn to
But pernicious smiles I hoped to hold on to
Left blazing knives in my beating heart
I could lurk inside the waves
To bring my trust across the boarder lines
But then, my ink inbetween my fingers and my diary right on my table
I find the world around me falling back into space and beauty
Oh! I love poetry
Alas, it came right in face-splitting smiles
Just above my ink-colored paper
It is not just a continuum of endless horizons
Poetry is an art of unthinkable beauty; all magnificent and extra
It is the rhythm and the color of our perfect imaginations
Oh! I love poetry

MY LOVER
Poetry my lover cares like my owner,
She delves dip in my darkest corner,
Flash a light of insight in my inner,
And keeps me warmer like a mother.
Distressed by my daily duty,
I'm placated by her perpetual piety;
Her real realistic reality,
Diverse and adventurous fidelity,
Keeps me in love with her beauty,
As she strokes my nerves with her balm of creativity.
Like a dietician, she dishes me daring diet;
My heart flow like milk in my ink,
With disarming decorum of eagle's feather in my ink,
She deck my mood with good look in book,
And avail me to dine &wine with noble poets.
We kept prudent pace as we tango,
Sad souls dance gleefully to our drumming lyrics;
My love, if you were a soul ever,
I would be your body over and over,
Powerfully possessed by your love forever.
© Chika Hyacienth Agumah
Judiciously may my confession be placed bare
To attest how I swim the swing of letters
How I bleed from my ink carrier, trying to place more wound on the sky of the unGodlys'
If not for poetry how could I..
Poetic warrior I'm bestowed in the land of words where letters own royalty
Now I bit evil with words
And the fearless quake on the radiation of my lines,
It's poetry's doing.

POETRY, I LOVE YOU
In the ocean of arts,
I caught you for the love,
You made me to swim
In acting a script for love,
O poetry, I have fallen for you.
Poetry, your compared me
With metaphors and similes,
Raise me with hyperbole
And I'm better with euphemism,
Oh, poetry, you coloured me.
I will forever die to you,
As love is unending daily night,
So I will lick your flavours
And remains a Son of art,
The art of lines and stanzas.
Oh! Poetry, my shatters are gathered
Just by a verse, you told me
By a sip of words, our belly mountained,
O, I love you, Poetry!
@Nehemiah I Sumi
I LOVE POETRY
life of an adventurer, a trip beyond the realms of men
My heart is a wonderland that can only be accessed by the queen of beauty, poetry
She holds the key to that marvel land
where its realities are seen as miracles in the land of men
How miserable I would have been without her! Poetry
Though I'm physically free without her I would have been in prison
She taught me to express myself beyond the horizons of human reason
So, if loving her is the worst crime I would proudly commit treason
She is the essence of my existence my favorite of all seasons.

MY LOVE FOR POETRY
I love poetry,
Upon it skeleton,
Consisting of line length, stanzas, punctuations and sentence structures,
One reflect with one another.
I love poetry,
Upon it repetition of similar sound,
Regular movement of bits play around,
It emphasis upon word or group of words compound.
I love poetry,
where ideas are express,
Either of romantic, legendary, didactic, joy or satirical.
I love poetry,
Where mostly words are chosen for their sound,
And upon it image suggest,
Not just of it obvious meaning,
Why not my love goes to the world of Art?
The sea of imagery?
And the company of symbolism?

PRIEST AND THE LOVER
Thus is the life ,
Life of a priest and a lover,
Come oh ye listeneth,
And hear ye he it's epistles.
At sunrise the priest yearns
At noon the lover dreams,
At eve the two twines,
In fabulous thoughts of luv.....

Open the door of mind
To flow the untold words
Such a cascade is rising
Drenching my whole earth
I try to see the beautific sights
A mesmerized tone is heard
Hello!!!! Sweet heart-- how are you
My name is Poem--- I can give you magic spells
What an outstanding feeling
I never imagine
I make a friendship with spiritual power
It gives me the magic of palatial tower
I love the inner sense of poem
My heart feels the eternity over turbulence
From that moment--- nothing can break my bonding
Me with my beloved Poem--- such a wonderful team

@ Aaron Angela
Under the tree I sat
Staring at it
Wanting to say something to
But it stayed still
Seems it wasn't ready to hear me speak
I really wanted to speak to it
As there was no one to speak to
The whole world seems to be too busy for themselves
Not ready to know about the well being of others
The tree still gave me deaf ears
"Please hear me out"!
I screamed but it stood still
I was so desperate to pour it out
The pains where eating me up
The wounds where getting wider
I needed to reduce the burdens
If only it can just hear me speak even for a second
Then will my soul rejoice
For it has known freedom
At that time the tree shook
There wasn't any breeze, neither was there fast air
But it shook even harder and faster
Just then a sheet flew out of it
Falling down to the ground
Stopping right on my laps
It was empty and whitish
What does this signify?
a pen flew out
Landing on my legs
I picked it up
Knowing well that the tree wasn't deaf nor dumb
I started pouring out
Telling it about my feelings
Right there it became my friend
I told it all my hidden secrets in an ironic way
Using metaphor to make it clear.
Then I called it poetry a quality that evokes emotions in any medium.

Gossipers
In the morning they gathered round themselves like immatures children, talking about people own problems and other irrelevant issues.
They don't talk at the front of their opponents, but rather prefer to talk about them at their back.
When they are caught and those they gossips heard about it they pretends and even fight a guilty fight they know of.
They have a particular site
That people knows them as their regular place, where their mouth goes in this direction and sound Chirp - Chirp - Chirp - Chirp like the sound of a lonely and weary bird.
At the end they all fought and begins to talk about what they have took their times to talk about everyday.
Oh what a life!!!!
Gossipers what an uncalled and boring title a person should be given and called.

I love poetry
the creativity of Arts
the giver of deep thought
you are unique among other genres of literature
your stanza is filed with wisdom
the epitome of beauty is your name
you are a soul builder and healers are of broken hearted
It is you that I love,
you can are the eldest of the three
still you are ever green day in day out
you are the beauty of Art.

...THE POET...
Deep in thoughts
Always trying to pen some words
Leaning against the wall
Having a conversation with the gods
The ink spraying profusely
The mind never settled
Writing with honesty
The mind never troubled
From the North to the South
From the west to the east
From the depth of my heart
I spray on my path
Proud to beat my chest
Call me a poet
The ink will never dry
That's my prayer point
L'AMOUR LA POESIE
MY DEAR POETRY
OH MY OH MY

I love poetry, it is my light, my world and everything.
I love much because you have taught to learn, unlearn, and relearn.
Through you I have learnt to wiser, smarter, intellectual and outspoken.
You are my world, my sunshine, and my mirror, my morning stars and my roses.
You make me think, reason beyond my imagination and with you the world is viewed from afar.
